It is certain that cinema constitutes an important breaking point in our age where visuality plays a dominant role in determining the perception of reality. During its 120 years of development, film has changed like other branches of art, transformed in parallel with social and technological developments and diversified itself by associating it with other communication channels. The Cinema Master Program, which was opened within the Department of Visual Communication Design at Istanbul Commerce University, aims to examine and question this process from all aspects.

With the Master of Cinema Program, it is aimed to train researchers who can analyze and investigate the development of society and make original contributions to social change and development processes. It is very important to have original approaches about the historical development and contemporary character of culture and art in order to understand, analyze and give direction to the rapidly changing and transforming social realities in connection with globalization. For this purpose, a program in which researches will be conducted on the social, intellectual and aesthetic problems of cinema is proposed. In the program, where cinema will be analyzed as an art, an institutionalized industry, a philosophical method and a universal cultural phenomenon, the approaches within film theory will be critically questioned.
